enviroMETS is proud to support Stephen D'Esposito visit Queensland in June-July 2024 for a series of meetings and presentations where he’ll share further insights on how innovation in mine waste processing is expanding, offering new technologies to re-mine waste and address pollution. And, how the business model for restoring degraded sites can provide significant benefits for both community and commercial bottom lines.

Stephen Desposito is President and Founder of Regeneration, a global public good company who is making a difference in how we can turn waste into a resource, create nature-based solutions, and achieve better mine closure outcomes.
